Need a Wallpaper? Check Out NASA’s James Webb Photo Gallery

Processed images from the James Web Space Telescope have been published on Twitter, the telescope’s official website, and other locations, but there’s another portal you may not have seen. NASA operates a Flickr profile for the telescope, which contains images of engineering tests, control centers, and best of all, space pictures.



You can browse through the whole collection in your browser, and saving the full-resolution version of an image is as easy as clicking the download button (the arrow pointing down). If you have a Flickr account, you can also follow the account to see new pictures. Flickr provides an RSS feed as well that you can subscribe to with your RSS app of choice, like Feedly or Inoreader.

The first few photos from the James Webb Space Telescope were already excellent wallpapers, but the Flickr gallery is being updated with the latest images. There’s a composite of the Pillars of Creation, two galaxies merging, Jupiter in infrared, and a fiery hourglass.

If the 32-year run (and counting) of the Hubble Space Telescope is any indication, the James Webb telescope should continue giving us fantastic images for years to come.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

Humbling, that in the midst of all that cosmic splendor He has created, my God would care about a dinged up old human like me.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

The 8 most extraordinary JWST images of 2024, so far

Peer into the otherworldly beauty of spiral galaxies and dusty nebulas.

Nearly one million miles away from Earth, the James Webb Space Telescope studies the cosmos.

Since launching on December 25, 2021, JWST has provided ground-breaking insights into the history of our universe. And 2024 has been no different. This year, JWST has already measured “hot Jupiter,” captured the birth of stars, found evidence of a neutron star in fiery supernova remains, and brought new insights to the study of wavy-armed spiral galaxies.

We’ve collected eight of our favorite JWST images of 2024 that capture the awe-inspiring glory of space.
